§ Gl THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1880 WHERE DID LENA-LEWIS G0? And Why Does Mrs. Clarke With- hold Information ? A VERY QUEER CASE AT LEAST. A Servant Disappenrs Suddenly and is Not Heard From By Her Fricnds, Who Are Very, Very Anxious. Where Uan Lena Be ? Tena Lewis is missing. She is said to have lefi the city October 14, since which time she has not been seen by those with whom she was wont to meet, and her friends, who are unaware of her present location, are very much concerned regarding hor welfare, * Lena is a domestic about twenty-eight years of age, who has for some time been employed as & chambermaid in the family of John M. Clarke, at 1810 Chicago street. On Tuesday, October 14, at about 2:80 p. ., she left the house for where no one, save perhaps one or two persons knows. The door of her room was locked, but the key remained, and inside on her little bureau was found her watch, while several other articles were also left lwhind. She is rather tall, slender, with a pale face, lighy brown hair, and wore when she Joft a black dress which was nearly covered by a green wrap; also a black nat with trimmings of thie same sombre hue. Such 18 the information that came to Tue Bee yesterday. Tho reporter sent out to investigate the matter catled nt Mr. Clarke's residence last night. After ringing the door beil vicious for about ten yminutes a very pretty little do- Tmestic answered the summons by cautiously ovening the door, whercupon the following conversation ensued : “ls this the residence of Mr.John M Clarke?” “Yes sir." “Are any of the family at home?” “Yes sir, Mrs. Clarke is at home; will you walk in?

The domestic was the next one to be ques- tivned. 1o you know Lena Lewis?” was asked. “No, sir, I never have scen her. lama new girl here.” Just then the door opened again and Mrs, Clarke's fu n appeared. Then was the situation relat Lena disap- peared as stated above, and that Tug BEk desired the full facts in the case in order to be accurate. “I don't want anything said about us, and 1 will tell you nothirg. 1f you get anything wrong we can_get it, corrected,” aud again he door was shut. An inquiry a8 to whether Mr. Clarke was at home elicited the foliowing from the domestic: I don't know.” “Is he in the city?” I don't know, I work on the other side.” Tue Bre man then concluded to go to the sother side.”” On the way he met a young man of perhaps twenty, who in reply us to whetner he lived there, said “‘he ‘worked there.” 10 you know Lena Lewis ! “What, the woman's that's gone{" es.” +Oh, I've seen her.” “Where has she gone?" 1 don’t know.

F. Callaghan, D. D., rector of St. Cecilia’s church, Walnut Hill, delivered a lecture in the church of the Holy Family, corner of Eighteenth and Izard, on “'St. Ignatius and the Company of Jesus’ before a large and evideritly a very apprecia- tive congregation. The reverend lecturer began by giving a graphic description of the struggles and trials of chrstianity in the first century of its existence, “Nineteen hundred yoars ago,” sald the lecturer, “there came a sound from heaven of strange, mystical melody, a sound com- pared with which even the music of angels, prostrated before the throne of God, is as nothing; a sound throbbing with the spirit of God, and it came to brood over the church. From that moment there appeared in the history of the world a new race of heroes. ‘The name of Jesus rose above the wreck of Roman paganism. “Out of that divine name and the divine truth which it covers two organisms were bort, one divine in its life, and, through that divine organism came nealing for every wounded soul, It was not a divine organism established to create material comfort or to widen the means of material happiness. We do not read in the commis- sion of the apostles that they were ever sent to build a railroad from Jopva to Jerusalem. But its mission was to mako men worthy citizens ot heaven, Now, akin to that first organism is another spruug from its life, receiving all its form, its shape, its color, its literature, its nrt, its science, solely from the divine power of the nome of Jesus and from the divine organism, and thut is the Catliolie church, the organism of the living God. One was an oter society, the other was its earthly counterpart. * The' world ac- cented the name of Jesus as the shibboleth of salvation, and in return there was born of that name a christian common- wealtt. All Europe, the world accepted ths divinity of Jesus Christ. 1t s a4 paecan of joy for all the ills that flesh e air to. What was the work upon society wrought for fifteen centuries in the name of Jesus! It took the pagan Iaw and it stripped that Inw of ita despotism othed it with the charity of Josus. rson hins woll said, *T'he principles of the Cathotic faith and the doctrines of the Catholic church, teaching o divine legislator ruling ail, was the proclama- tion of the first principles of deun: that found a home) It took the and in the name of Jesus it clothed with the purple of its divinity, und rich in @ clear, emphatic, never voice that the ‘poor had a r of the wealth of which God had made them the custodians, [t wipea out the badge of degredation from poverty and the stamp of servility from the brow of the workingman, It clothed both with dignity and it preached divine equality in the name of Jesus.

It levelod all castes, Thero was neither Greel nor Gentile. The work esUs was twofold in its character, bless. upon the individual and benedictions without number on the comntnity. “But there came a sad_hour, the most de- abie in the bistory of the world siuce pa- sm went down with its rotting garments, an hour when supernatural authority was denied in the world. “'he speaker then dwelt upon the rise and progress of the reformation, introducing in his reference the statement that God sought for a mau to rebuild the bulwarks of chris- tian faith, to rekindle tie flame of learning and to organize a band of heroes who would stem the tide of heresy and open up new lands and new fields of labor. That man was found in Iznatius Loyola, and that serried phalanx was found in the company of Jesus, Speaking of St. Ignatius, he said: “Keared in luxury, nurtured in ndolence, fondled in a court, bred tothe Science of arms, it seemed & poor begivning for a saint—four elements out of which to shapo a christian hero. But God saw in the calm, cold intel- lect of St. Ignatius, Joined to that magnetic power over the affections of men, a_leader who would again fill the weak piaces of earth with tho fires of virtue, who would again Lift up the human mind in 1ts _soaring after knowledge.

Chicago Time Engineer Dim- mick, of the Chicago express, d he had Dbeen in nervous dread of an accident from the moment he pulled out of the Lake Shore depot in 1h|uugu. writes William H. Maher in the Toledo Blade. This had made him unusually careful, but as he reached Sherman’s crossing, a little behind time, he began to lose his fear; he opeuul the throttle of old 90, intending to gain a few minutes in the remaining eight miles between there and Toledo. He started to signal for the crossing, just this side of the trees, when, horror! he saw a farmer drive furiously toward it as if to cross ahead of the train. It was suicide! Dimmick sent out u heart-breaking signal to the brakeman, reversed the engine, put on air-brakes, knowing all the time the train could not be stopped is s1de of the crossing, and then shut s and prayed. RN EHaBRRTE stopped a part of the wagon was on the headlight, the horses were distributed along the track, and two old people were lying near the fence. Dimmick was the first to reach them. They both breathed. Wasthere aphys- ician among the passengers? Yes, two. A hurried examination and consulta- tion. The man was undoubtedly fatally hurt; the woan probably so. They weré tenderly carried to Mr. Richards’ house near by and the physi- cians were told that if they \vouhl stay until the local practioner was found a locomotive would be sent back for them in an hour. Theyagreed to stay. The bell rang; travelers hurried to their plac some- with white faces at the hmwht thut it might have been them- selves; others full of the importance participation in the event would give them and their story, and others, for- getting themselves, thinking only of the sorrow brought to others. Mr. Richards placed his house at the command of the physici Stimulants were administered, and when the fami- 1y doctor and the children of the suffer- ers had arrived the father was moaning, but the mother had opened her eyes. Late in the night, after hours of faithful and incessant labor over them, the mother spoke “How is father? *He is still unconscious, but is well taken care of. Here is something for you: now don’t worry; don’t thinlk: just 7o to sleep again.” " Her son spoke to her.

Thoy moved her bed beside her husband’s; she attempt- ed to take his hand, but could not. His stentorious breathing seemed to malke no impression upon her. “Is father going to die?” she asked. The weeping daughter nodded. **You must keep quiet for your own sake, mother,” s \\'u ve been married over forty-eight years,” she said to the doctor, “*but We'vo known each other all our lives.” “You mustn’t talk, mother.” ‘*We was raised side by side; he took care on me when we went to school to- gether; he always took care on me.

The Weekly Review of Iron and Other Metats. FIRM IN ALL DEPARTMENTS. General Operations Ruling Moderate —lIncreased Exportacions of Pig iron—No New Features In Groceries. The Business World, Bosrow, Oct. 27.—The general tone of the iron market continues firm, with the tend- ency still upward. The feature of the mar- ket has been the exportation of pig iron, sev- eral transactions in this respect being re- ported during the past week, New York re- | ports say that the Thomas iron company has made a sale of 500 tons of pig iron for export to Mexico, the shipment of which is already under way. The same company has been ne- gotiating for the sale of 1,000 tons in Eog- land, and, it is said, would have succeeded ere this but for inability to secure freight ac- commodation on the regular line steamers. Several lots of Ohio pig are said to have been sold in Canada in competition with Scotch iron. The general outlook is stronger, the home demand for both foundry and mill pie ruling active, rovealing anxiety on the part of many consumers to have crders booked now that a general advance m prices, 10 take effect next month, is found to be a certainty, Sellers who have a first-class article to deliver within the next seventy days are very indifferent and refusing to sell at less than §18 for No. 1 X, 17 for No. 2 X, or $16 for grey forge. Some southern brands are quoted at 50c@$1 under those prices, but the makes that consumers seem content to take are extremely difficult to obtain for de- livery this year, and the kinds that are of- fered at the bottom figures quoted are mainly those that are taken only when buyers have no alternative than to put up with that class of iron. Some contracts have been made for certain of the most popular brands for 1500 del.wvery at the advanced prices. Dealers here say that the demand for pig iron is much better now tbhan it has been be- fore this year. Most of the leading makes of Ohio iron are now practically out of the market, furnace men having no more to sell Offerings of Penusylvania grades are also light and ou, can only pick up limited quantities. Dealers say that notonly do they have trouble in buying supplies, but they also find 1t difticult to get their former purchases delivered. The fur- uaces are busy, and notwithstanding the fact that the output this year will boe the largest ever known, it now looks as though this large production would be completely absorbed, The fact that the competition with Scotch iron is now done’ away with, owing to the high prices ruling ‘abroad, makes the demand for Aun an iron so much greater, while the fact that an outlet for our iron abroad is opening up makes the outlook so much more favorable. Bar iron is still meeting with a quiet de- mand, althcugh the strong tone and higher prices asked at the producing centres of the west causes values to be neld firm. The machine shops are busy and are using con- siderable iron, but no one has yet attempted to go in very heavy in theic purchases. “I'he market i8 in such a delicate position at pres- entthat a large order would uudouvtedly start prices up very materially, but in the quiet ways that buyers are operating, they are able to get supplics at last week’s rates, Swedish iron is firm, and with conditions showing still more strength abroad, the out- look is for astill further advance in values here. Dealers only quote on specitications now, no open auotations being given. Steam piping and plumbing supplies generally are inafirm position with the mills well sup. piled with orders. Boiler tubes also hold steady. All'branches of the stecl warket are firm, and eastern buyers have to pay higher rates on some grades than even a week ago. New York reports say that the steel trade, while not disvlaying quite the degree of excive- ment that prevailed last weel, is still active and prices are very strong all along the line, Some contracts for moderate quantitics of rails have been closed at §32 f. 0. b. at east- ern mills, but large buyers seem rather hosi- tant about closing, although having options on round lots, despite the representations of manufacturers regarding the extent to which the capacity of the mills is under the control of orders and the extreme high cost of crude materials generally. In the Pitts- burg market billets and slabs are up to 834 wire rods to $i6 and other produ relatively as high, whilst prices at mills in other localities employed on those commod- ities are of corresponding level. Tank plates are quoted higher from the mills and the general situation for both steel and iron paltes is stronger. Sheet iron Lol firm and sales are active at full pri Blacksmiths' supplies aresteady. Old raiis aro still in & nominal condition, with no transactions reported. There 1s a fuir quantity of rails held by several of the eastern roads, but the views of buyers and sellers are stll 100 far apart to result in any business. The roads nominally while with bar iron at its present price mill- men are not bidding above §23.50. Old scrap Jron is quiet, but the mills are picking up lots from time to time, with prices ranging as to quality. The nail market continues firm with the tendency towards & still further advance. The high price of wire nails makes the.out- Iook for cut nails more favorable, and the trade look for a greater share of the demand for the latter. The low prices which were forced by the heavy competition of the past two years, have now disappeared, owing to the advance in crude material, but even at the advauce which has already been made in nails, the cost of production is not covered. Tiie trade feel that it 18 high time thata living profit was obtained by nail manufac- turers, and 8o anticipate a still further ad- vance. The copper market is steady with a large movewent reported, This season of the year i8 the one when copper is most frecly used, and the price for this metal is on a sufil- ciently low basis to induce a free use of the material, Tin is quiet and steady, but tin plates are active, and prices have been still further advanced in sympathy with the higher prices abroad. Lead is quiet and a shade casier, with no change in_ spelter and zine, The dry goods murket holds in a steady position, Wil the volutno of business fair, The call from jobbers foots up fairly liberal for the season, and considering the free sell- ing which was done by them in August and September, retailers arg meeting with a good distributing business _aud conditions are fuvorable for a steady fall business. tton goods hold steady with agents, with some makes of both brown and bleached goods well sold ahead. Colored cottons rewmaiu quiet and steady, while cotton flannels are being freely taken from jobbers, with manu- facturers also busy iu dglivery of former ordare ™ Prigte. captiniay quiet, although specialties in wide goods yet move well and hold steady. Ginghams ape io light demand. Dress goods are steady and jobbers ure still receiving orders from, day to day for seasonable styles, With manufacturers business is slow, the segsor. being well over 80 far as fall goods are goucerned. Foreign dress goods are firm, while silks and velvets also show more strength. Flannels are quiet with manufacturers, but jobbers are still selling fair )ines, Blankets also meet with a good demand, with values steady. Cassinieres continue quiet but steady, while worsteds are moving fairly in the delivery of former orders, Overcoatings hold quiet but steady. In teus the market is quiet with no partic- ularly new features 1w note. Desirable grades of teas are meeting with a steady call and hold firm in price, the stock of such be- ing io no way excessive. China reports still confirm first udvices that the choice grades are in small supply there, The featurs of the market has been the stronger tone to Congo teas in the Knglish markets, These toas bave ruled dull and low, but it looks now that a turn in the wmarket had been reached that would affect the situation on this side. Low grade teas are gencrally dull with no change to note in prices. In coffee business has boen quiet with no new features to note in the general situation. Buyers are operating, as they happen 1o be iu need of supplies, gul 0o speculative foel- ing is noticeable, and but little disposition to stock up is shown. The growing crop Brazil bids fair to be much larger than last ar, but roports as to its condition are still ontradictory. General quotations are ua- changed from a week ag The market for cloves is easier, with Zan- zibar lots 1 lower to sell. Other species are quiet and steady, The following western buyers wero on the market during the week. Denver, Col.—H. Plonsky. of Bubler Bros. San Francisco, Cal.—). C. Nolan, of Nolan Bros.; M. L.

McClung, of Getto Mr. Herman Kountze Says That the Money Market Will Be Kasy. Mr. Herman Kountze has just returned from the cast. In the course of a short in- terview he commented upon the money mar- ket there and said that bankers whom he met, including the head of one of the largest national banks there as well as the members of the firm of Kountze Bros,, were inciined to the opinion that money would be fairly casy during the ensuing fall and winter, He said that legitimate dewands from parties in whom bankers had confidence would be freely met. Some of the New York bankers have been loaning heavily on cotton and other southern products which are on their way to market and the louns are now being returned, so that money 18 easior there. Mr. Kountze does not think there will be any undue stringevcy this fall and winter, though there will ve, ho thinks, loss disposition than ever by bankers to back M‘I:cmfls whether wildcav building or what not. Commenting upon an articlo which ap- peared in the Omaha World-Herald of Fri- duy last, in which it was editoramlly stated that the ruling rate of interest charged L the banks to the merchants of Omaha was 10 per cent, in advance, Mr. Kountze, after reading un article in the commercial column of Tue SUNDAY BEE, endorsed the luttor as giving the situation correctly. Ho in cidentally remarked that but few sound and solvent _ concorns paid over § per cent to Omaha banks for mon and that favors were very liberal in amount. He instanced a case where jobbers here had been accommodated with loans in amount in excess of their whole capital. “It is a re- flection_upon the traders of the city to pub- lish as facts the wila assertions contained in the World-Herald’s article,” he said, “wnen seven-eighths of the merchants of Omaha can contradict them trom their own knowl- edge and experience.’ “‘The ruling rate to sound merchants for bank loans in Omaha is 8 per cent tho round, and when money 1s plentiful 7 per cent. 'This is cheaper money tuan 6 per cent in Chicago or New York, and the demand is cortain to be met when the money is wanted. foh L There is nothing in existence that will equal Salvation Oil in curing pain in the joints or muscles, or spinal affections.

General Gbroutcheff, the chief of the general stafl of the Russian army, sub- mitted to the czar last summer a report urging that a second line of rail be laid to the western frontier. In spite of the opposition of the minister of finance the proposal is being carried out. Iight million loads of rails and 300 locor taves have been ordered for delivery May. This measure completes in the strategic network of Russian railways, increasing their capacity to mass troops on the German frontier e How to Cure a Cold, Many years constaat use and the ex- perience of thousands of persons of all ages, has fully demonstrated that there 18 nothing better for a severe cold than Chawberlain’s Cough Remedy.

One hundred and fifty dozen are turned out daily, and thousands of them dangle from tie necks of cows all over the praivies of North and South Ameriea. The manufacture of cow- bells is entirely different from that of other bells. Tnstead of being molded the metal is vollod into sheots, cut into symmetrical polygons, which, when folded, are pr d into their well- known form, ~ After being riveted thoy are packed in clay and brought to a white heat. When suddenly cooled these steel bells are found to be not only tempered, but beautifully bronzed. Rallroad Tiesof Mahozany. The mext day we rode for miles through magnificent forests of mahog- any and ebony trees,writes n correspon- dent of the Kansas City Times. It muy seem strange, but it is the plain truth—for miles and miles through this country the Monterey & Gulf railway will use mahogany ties, and the timber used in the construction of tho bridges will be of the same material, and often ebony will be used. Vast forests of theso precious woods extend for miles on either side of the roadbed, and the sound of the woodmun’s ax has never yet disturbed the stillness of the virgin spot. - Turkey Quills for Whalebone, New York Tribune: *““Yes,” said an exporter who was superintending the shipment of a number of cases of south- ern turkey feathers, “they manufacture dusting Drushes in Furope of these feathers, the same ns wo «\n here, but they also do more with them.
